C holeva Cholevopsis bertiae 2000 yılında Giachino and Vailati tarafından 34 örnek ile tanımlanmıştır. Örnekler Türkiye’nin güney batısındaki Toros dağlarının 4 farklı mağarasından, en son 1990 olmak üzere, farklı tarihlerde toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ilk kayıttan 14 yıl sonra, tip lokalitesinden 500 ila 800 km uzaklıkta, Eskişehir’deki 2 farklı mağaradan elde edilmiş 10 birey bildirilmiştir. Türün yeniden tanımı yapılmış, dişi ve erkeğin habitusu ve erkek genitalyası fotoğraflanmıştır
Choleva Cholevopsis bertiae was described by Giachino and Vailati in 2000 based on 34 specimens collec- ted in different dates, the latest 1990, from four different caves on Taurus mountain systems in south-wes- tern part of Turkey. We here reported this species identifying 10 specimens collected from two different caves in Eskişehir which is far from type locality about 500-800 km and after 14 years as second record for Turkey. Redescription of the species are given with the photograps of both gender habitus and male genitalia.
